LS1 (9-11)-1
Students demonstrate understanding of structure and function-survival requirements by
1a
explaining the relationships between and amongst the specialized structures of the cell and their functions (e.g. transport of materials, energy transfer, protein building, waste disposal, information feedback, and even movement).
1b
explaining that most multicellular organisms have specialized cells to survive, while unicellular organisms perform all survival functions. (e.g. nerve cells communicate with other cells, muscle cells contract, unicellular are not specialized). Students demonstrate understanding of differentiation by…
1c
comparing the role of various sub-cellular structures in unicellular organisms to comparable structures in multicellular organisms (e.g. oral groove, gullet, food vacuole in Paramecium compared to digestive systems in multicellular organisms).
LS1 (Ext)-1
Students demonstrate understanding of structure and function-survival requirements by
1aa
describing how the malfunction of cell organelles can lead to disease (e.g. “leaky” lysosomes and rheumatoid arthritis)
1bb
identify various specialized cells and common unicellular organisms in diagrams, photographs and/or microscopic slides.Students demonstrate understanding of differentiation by…
1cc
describing the origin and nature of stem cells and their potential for curing disease.Students demonstrate understanding of differentiation by…
